FLUID FOR ENGINE
COOLING SYSTEM
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must not drop be-
low the MINline on the vessel.
If the level is too low, slowly pour a mixture
of 50% distilled water and of PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS PARAFLU
UPinto the
filler A-fig. 5of the vessel.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection up
to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particu-
larly harsh weather conditions, we rec-
ommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UPand demineralised water.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHING FLUID
To add fluid lift the cap A-fig. 6and pour
in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35fluid, in the
following proportions:
❒30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 70% of water in summer;
❒50% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 50% of water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
fig. 5F0T0078m
When the engine is extreme-
ly hot, do not remove the
cap from the vessel: risk of burns.
The cooling system is pressurised. If
required, replace the cap with an
original spare part so as not to jeop-
ardise system efficiency.
WARNING
PARAFLUUPantifreeze is used
in the engine cooling system.
Use fluid of the same type
contained in the cooling system for top-
ups. PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed
with other types of fluids. If it is, do not
start the engine and contact the Fiat
Dealership.

BRAKE FLUID
Release cap A-fig. 7. Check that the liq-
uid contained in the tank is at the maxi-
mum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-
ceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids
and lubricants” table (see section “Tech-
nical Specifications”). When opening the
cap A, make sure that no dirt gets into the
reservoir.For topping up always use a funnel with
built-in filter (mesh smaller than or equal
to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled servicing plan”.
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the action of the windscreen
washer is essential for improving vis-
ibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could start
a fire if they come into contact.
WARNINGfig. 7F0T0080m
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Should that occur, im-
mediately wash with water.

AND CARE
The brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. If swallowed im-
mediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, which is different from a
mineral fluid. Use of a mineral type
fluid will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond re-
pair.
WARNINGPOWER STEERING
SYSTEM FLUID
Unscrew the cap A-fig. 8. Check that the
fluid contained in the tank is between the
MINand MAXlevels visible on the reser-
voir. The level may go over the MAXline
when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the
new oil has the same specifications as that
already in the system.
fig. 8F0T0081m
Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact
with hot engine parts: it is flammable.
WARNING
Oil consumption is extremely
low. If another top-up is re-
quired after only a short pe-
riod of time, have the system
checked for leakage at a Fiat Dealer-
ship.

AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter re-
placed by a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The vehicle fits a low-maintenance battery:
no top-ups with distilled water are need-
ed in normal conditions of use.
A periodic check is however required to
make sure that the battery is in efficient
conditions. Have it performed by the Fiat
Dealership or skilled personnel only. REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a gen-
uine spare battery having the same speci-
fications.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Scheduled servicing plan” in this section
will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.
The battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level
will damage the battery beyond re-
pair and even cause an explosion.
WARNING
Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship if, after buying the vehicle, you
want to install accessories (alarms, mo-
bile phone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you
if a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the un-
derlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-
ately to prevent the formation of rust. On-
ly use genuine spare paint products for
touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identifi-
cation plate” in the “Technical Specifica-
tions” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork con-
sists in washing the vehicle: the frequen-
cy depends on the conditions and envi-
ronment where the vehicle is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the ve-
hicle more often in areas with a high en-
vironmental pollution or on roads sprin-
kled with salt.To correctly wash the vehicle:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the vehicle is
washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, follow these recommendations:
– remove the antenna from the roof to
avoid damages;
– water with a cleansing solution must be
used for washing;
– rinse accurately to avoid cleansing so-
lution residues which may remain on the
body or hidden parts.Dry the less visible parts particularly care-
fully, such as the door frames, bonnet and
the headlight frames, where water may
stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to
leave the vehicle outdoors for a while af-
ter washing it to give water time to evap-
orate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine bon-
net is hot: this could take the shine off the
paint.Some automatic systems pro-
vided with old generation
and/or not correctly main-
tained brushes may damage
the varnish, easing the creation of mi-
cro-scratches, especially on dark
colours. To remove those scratches,
slightly polish with a specific product.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park the vehicle
under trees; the resinous substance re-
leased by many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of
triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window in-
side gently with a cloth in the direction
of the filaments to avoid damaging the
heating device.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment taking care
not to direct the water jet against the elec-
tronic control units and the relay/fuse con-
trol unit on the left side of the engine com-
partment (running direction). Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens. Detergents cause water pol-
lution. The vehicle should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.

CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist
brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.
CLEANING PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of wa-
ter and mild soap. Remove grease and
tough stains using specific solvent-free
products for cleaning plastic parts specif-
ically designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated
parts.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel.STEERING WHEEL/GEARBOX
LEVER KNOB/HANDBRAKE
COATED WITH REAL LEATHER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only. Never use spir-
it and/or alcohol based products.
Before using specific products for clean-
ing the interiors, carefully read the in-
structions on the product label and ensure
that it does not contain alcohol and/or al-
cohol-based substances.
If drops of the specific product for clean-
ing windows accidentally falls onto the
leather of the steering wheel / gear lever
knob during windscreen window washing,
immediately wipe the drops away and then
wash the area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT If a lock device is installed
on the steering wheel, maximum care
must be taken during installation in order
to prevent abrasions of the leather up-
holstery.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause oxidisation of the sheet met-
al.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts, such as petrol, ether or
rectified petrol, to clean the vehicle
interior. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing dur-
ing cleaning operations may cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle: risk of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, in-
ner temperature can greatly exceed
this value.
